Hey all,
I have been searching for an answer for my production dilemmas since the end of January. I currently have a closet that I converted the bottom half to a fermenter and separate 2 keg kegerator. The problem I ran into was I could really only ferment a lager or ale, I could only do one lager at a time, and I could not cold crash. On top of that I have been out producing a 2 keg kegerator. I was considering converting a chest freezer when my son showed me an awesome set up on imgur. I thought the idea was brilliant and simple so I have been working in my spare time since February on getting my side by side set up. Here is the link to my inspiration. I stole a lot of stuff directly but also made some major changes. http://imgur.com/a/BezCj
I started with a Kitchenaid white side by side for $70 I got off Craigslist. It was in rough shape and I was so anxious to get going I didn't even take and starter pics. I pulled everything off and gave it a serious cleaning.
I removed the ice maker and all the extra shelves and brackets. I was lucky in that the through door ice and water came completely off. I was also able to remove the inside shell on the freezer door to allow for more room. All together I am able to get four kegs in the freezer side. I installed a rail in the center to hold the upper two kegs and a plywood platform on the bottom give inches up to allow for a straight shelf to set the kegs on
